The Drawing Room Experts

Episode 126: Let’s talk about The Levant! Pt.2

Back with the 2nd Part to dive into the (more) difficult conversation around the happenings in and around the #israelpalestineconflict
This is the part that mainly concerns and comes from the perspective of Muslims that doesn't happen much (unfortunately). Zaib & Sarosh dive into the ethical, moral, and philosophical stance on the conflict, engagement of war, and whether we are aligned with the ultimate truth from an Islamic perspective.
The conflict has turned into a "team sport" where we must "support the team" and try not to be the downer that raises some "good points for the opposition" and in the process completely escape and abandon the truth!
Must listen for anyone not willing or looking to have a difficult conversation about an arguably not-so-complicated issue.

Episode 125: Lets talk about The Levant! (Pt. 1)

Zaib welcomes back Sarosh to the Podcast to tackle a rather controversial but critical conversation around the happenings in the Middle East concerning the outrageous events on and post-Oct 7 (in the most recent episode at least)
In the 1st part of this 2-parter conversation on Palestine & Israel, Zaib & Sarosh try and tackle difficult conversations that are usually externalized around the conflict and how frustrating (at times) can one be at the sheer ignorance or merely a lack of effort shown at conducting a proper assessment on the happenings Pre & Post October 2023.
This part nervously builds up to the point which sets up part 2 of the discussion and some heated conversation around the conversations that need to happen 'internally'.

Episode 120: Titan v. Migrant | Rich v. Poor

Zaib tries to comprehend his thoughts pertaining to the happenings during the last couple of weeks surrounding the unfortunate migrant ship capsizing off the coast of Greece & the 'catastrophic implosion' of Oceangate's Titan off the coast of Canada/US.
Reeling from an opinion shared on an #instagram story about the relationship between the rich and poor and how the reaction to the Titan's imploding is reeking of 'envy' or 'rich bashing' for no reason, Zaib (tries to) collect his thoughts to articulate an intriguing and complex relationship
